I
wanted to show you these collages I've been working but my goodness
they are difficult to photograph! They are made using old magazines and
covered with eopxy resin for a tough, shiny coat. The resin I'm using
is virtually VOC free and environmentally friendly. It's quite labor
intensive but I love the result. I'm plan to hang the one above (21X21) over
my pink bathtub where the steam won't affect the eopxy coating.

Semi-After. Needs another coat but if you don't look too closely you won't notice (and you won't notice that Juniorette glued a paper ambulance on top.)

I really liked this and think it looks pretty in the bathroom. Need to work on the toiletscape this weekend. What does a person use to kit out a toilet? Can't be breakable (Junior.) I think I need a receptacle for fresh flowers.

Abbey at Aesthetic Outburst decided she needed a portrait of Susan B. Anthony (this makes perfect sense to me) so she went to the mall and had one airbrushed. She thinks it's tacky - I think it's delightful!

I got this painting (it's a reverse painting on glass from 1956) a couple of weeks ago while on an Artist Date. Do you guys know what that is? It's a suggestion from The Artist's Way and encourages creative types to take themselves on a date all alone once a week to do something FUN. I so highly recommend this book to anyone creatively blocked or creatively seeking.
